dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Dwight is a right wing libertarian character. He hates the government and regulations, specifically he has said that the government is too strict about limiting the use of pesticides. He loves corporations and is always kissing his bosses' ass to try to climb the corporate ladder. He's quoted Mussolini. Dwight is the same type of guy as Dr Disrespect.

At the risk of knowing even more about twitch streamer drama than I had possible absorbed through this site; who the fuck is Dwight? Probably not Dwight Eisenhower.

The tattoo on the left in the photo is Dwight Schrute from the tv show, The Office. His character is the assistant to the manager at a paper company. He lives on a farm in Pennsylvania. He's a huge nerd and everyone constantly clowns on him. He's always begging to be promoted. He acts like he has more power at the company than he really does. He's supposed to be like a parody of right wing libertarians but some people don't realize that.

Sometimes he is straight up fascist, he fetishes cops and authority to a humorous degree. He would be a lot more racist if the show was a bit more serious.

Im pretty sure he also alludes to his grandfather being a Nazi officer at a few points in the show
